I was now a ling time away from the game and came back to the recent experimental built. Two things I just discovered with starting a new airport (I filed a bug report already).
GA Flights taking place even during night hours, what is pretty new to me and regarding to my grass runway without any lighting more or less…not feasable.
Second thing is also a GA issue, not sure, if that is intendet. GA doesn’t consume any flights from my daily limit of the ATC. Is it supposed to be? I mean, it would make sense, if you have a 25 GA flights a day, your tower crew just can’t handle any commercial flights anymore.
May a slider, where you can set a limit of GA flights a day would be an idea?
I like to build an overhang of the second floor on the road tiles of the stand beneath it.
It saves space and it looks (at least in my opinion) quite neet.
please please please bring back the option to build over the road tile of a stand.
@olof would you suggest i make new games to solve the problems with the logo, and also that Half my staff can’t be assigned to terminal 1? I can only assign 17 security, and i have hired 34. Same goes for ramp agents ??.
I only noticed it with the stands, on the other hand i don’t have any remote stands. Or did you mean if the whole stand is affected? In this case yes, Not just the gates.
Tried the remote gate busstop and they are not affected- @no-fun you’re safe, it’s just the stands.
I know this isn’t a pressing issue or an issue at all for most players, but @devs could you Maybe revers this?
I got this, yesturday, guess i can try that. I think we might have solved it now. Your old saves will have the X-logo (you can manually add a logo to AppData\Roaming\Apoapsis Studios\Airport CEO\Saves and put a “logo.png” and a “rendered_logo.png” into your save folder). Somehow the generation of your logo (background + IATA text) was cancelled and at save it couldn’t find the specific logo-files and thus generated a fall-back logo which is specified to be the X-mark. From that point on that will be your logo if you don’t manually change it back in the folder.
Hopefully it should be fixed and not happen again when starting a new airport.
That worked. But since i copy the logo from another airport. It says the correct IATA in the profile but not on the actual trucks. On them the wrong code is displayed. Can i somehow change that in the renderd logo? or Game file? Or do i have to start over?
I get now Small flights to Zurich, St. Gallen, Lugano, Samedan and maybe more coming. Sion I’ve also seen once. So at least some domestic stands can be built.
You could start a new game, select the logos you want with the iata you want, start, and then simply copy-paste the new one into the old save where it got wrong.
I’m fine with this in general. However, this comment sparked me to join into the forum.
I hope you are working on Schengen area and will treat it soon as domestic, since that is in essence what it is. There is no passport checks whilst traveling within that zone.
Also, medium stands must be able to take domestic flights and plane size shouldn’t be about the distance but capacity. Case in Finland for example: HEL - KUO uses ATR72, A319 and A320. Distance is about 400km.
Question: Departing and arriving people can’t truly be separated in my games due to pathing AI wanting to people to go into nearest restaurant regardless of the side it is on. If i separate them completely, departing AI wants to go to arrival zone restaurant by the bag reclaim as it is just behind the wall. As the path will not be found, game will start to lag a lot. As soon as i punch a hole into wall after security check, bunch of people go through that to said restaurant and come back bit later. This happens regardless of having restaurants at the departing side too.
And it happens other way too, if there isn’t a restaurant on the arrival side, they try to go back to departures to fullfill their need. Whatever i do, i can’t win and keep them truly separated. I always need to have a some path between the sides on secure area.
As mentioned before, Schengen or any other geopolitical collaboration will not be simulated or implemented. It’s way too much work, does not provide much value other than micro-simulation accuracy and this game is a tycoon game and not a simulator.
That should not happen, either sounds like they are in fact not separated due to building errors (they should have a separate security zone label) or it’s a bug.
Problem then is in Europe, that domestic flights come from far too small areas and thus effect gameplay quite dramatically.
I got everything as 1 security zone as that’s the way it works automatically. When i punch a staff door between the sides, game fills that space with security zone and keeps them as one zone. I’ll try to separate them into 2 different zones and see if that helps.
This reminds me, have you noticed that if you build a wall at international stand to departing side of those 2 squares in the middle of the gate, stand loses the security connection. If i build the wall next to arrivals hole, it works normally?
I can see where you are comming from, especially when it comes to small countries. On the other hand in larger countries it is not unusual to have airports that serve mostly or exclusivly domestic routes (moorabin airport, Melbourne, Toronto city airport, Moscow wnukovo, moscow domodedovo used to serve domestic flights exclusivly) to name a few.
One of the things that really fascinated be about this game at the start and captured my attention was the possibility to build the airport the way that i see fit. And to achieve this i (as a Player) would love to have more controll over the types of flights and airplains that land at my airport and that i would like to serve. After all i am the ceo of this emaginary airport. Moreover I see it as my prerogative.
I find the idea that was posted hier with a slider to determine the proportion of domestic to international flights to be a grand one. Maybe the proportion could be dependent upon your rating. That is: the hire your overall rating- the hire the percent of international flights that the slider could be set to. Furthermore I would like to see such a slider on a per airline company basis. For example having cheaper airlines that need lower ratings and pay less as well as high maintenance ones that need high ratings and pay big bucks. I realize that this is not very attractive for smaller countries, but this would make the game more challenging for those countries and is not as restrictive as the one size fits all solution now in use.
This turned out to be rather long… hope there‘s someone that had the patients to read the whole post
Only change it really needs is to treat Schengen countries as one country. No other “simulation” is needed.
Pasi that will DEFINITELY cause more problems than benefit When you give a consession, other countries will also ask and it will never end.
“Can you add the same allowance to country A and B? Why not you did for Shengen”
There is another thing is that; there is no way you can do it without making some members angry. This is another reason why in game world map got changed.
As the MD11 is now available, we all can pretend that we play an airport which was established before Schengen was signed. I got ok with it as at least some domestic small flights are now offered and I can build a small area without passport control.
